  10. Vision and Mission oftheCompetence Centre Programme • Regional Competence Centres are well organised regional networks. They integrate possibly all regional companies, universities, research facilities etc., working in the same field of technology. • They provide a suitable base for know-how exchange, innovative cooperation and project approaches among the partner institutions. • Competence Centres improve significantly the co-ordination and effectiveness of (regional) research activities and the transformation of results into marketable products and services.

  11. Objectives of Regional Competence Centres • Positioning the centres as catalysers for cooperation and for competitiveness • Initiating and supporting co-operation between businesses, universities, research facilities, public bodies and other relevant organisations • Support for start-ups and spin-offs • Platform for (large scale) projects • Joint learning environment • Fostering Open Innovation processes

  12. Track Record / History of the Programme • Programme was initiated by a regional competition. • Selection of the most promising bottom-up concepts proposed by municipalities, companies and research institutions. • First phase (2000 – 2002): 2 million Euro contribution programme as co-financing to the establishment and operation of the selected competence centres. • Second phase (since 2003): Support for projects run by the Competence Centres: - cooperation projects (up to 20.000 €)- innovation projects (up to 50.000 €)- development of project proposals (up to 10.000 €)

  13.
